You actually brought it back up with your baiting #bust tag. I've said all along I'd love to be wrong and I might be... but an AHL point streak is far from proving anyone anything just yet.
-
I view Tatar as his ceiling... so let's say for the sake of argument that's what happens. I would term that a bust. A high 1st rounder turning out to be a middling NHLer to my mind is a bust, especially when at this point you're offering up Kucherov as his ceiling.
-
Woah you quoted me and I'd not said that.... weird.
-
Even Yakupov 1.0 had decent stretches... 2.0 is bound to as well. You're looking at trees not a forest. #opinions #eyetest #bust

If that happens... Kenny can stay... Yzerman who? But I'm afraid I'm taking this with an Everest sized grain of salt.

Steve Yzerman to step down as GM for TBL. Will serve in "Advisory Role".

When Trotz became available I was convinced he'd be the wings new coach... that was a missed opportunity. I was also rooting for Mark Hunter as GM. But I got neither wish :-( -

Kip that's ridiculous. He was thought very highly of over his long tenure in Nashville... they didn't fare well in the playoffs once they built a decent team... that had far less to do with Trotz than it did with the Wings and Hawks and other really strong teams they came up against. The CAP playoff curse was on Ovechkin not Trotz... Maybe or maybe not... its doubtful we'd be any worse. -

Good maybe... I'm not convinced... will their be better options available I'd thisk so. A great coach can make a huge difference look at Trotz in Long Island. He's made chocolate pudding out of dog crap... nothing short of a miracle. Where do we sit this minute 2 points ahead of Ottawa (the dumpster fire of the NHL). -

I think once he's done here it'll be hard for him to get a job... if he does it'll be with a team in a non-traditional hockey market where teams have sucked for ever... -
Total Sidebar.... If we extend Blashill, does it follow that Holland remains as GM? I think many people (including myself) would love to see Yzerman step in and take over as GM. Would he be in on a resigning of Blash? Would he only want the GM job if he had the ability to choose his own staff?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean.... if calling you out on your self righteous BS. is gaslighting then so be it.
-
Those posts aren't even comparable... and you know it. Not trolling, expressing my opinion...
-
Your sarcasm adds nothing to the conversation... it only succeeds in making you look childish. I think he'd have slid into the late teens, 20s.
-
He'd have slid further had we not picked him... Nail Yakupov 2.0
-
Good luck ^^
-
He will be an NHLer, if you're expecting a star he'll be a bust. So relative to the expectations (HYPE) here when he was drafted he'll be a bust. He will not be a bust if you have him pegged as a top 6 winger who is a PP specialist ie. can't back check. I see him as Vanek in the absolute best case scenario.
-
What's so funny? I watched him play in the Q fairly often.... he was there to score and nothing more. I'd trade him in a heart beat in a package for a youngish top 4 D. He'd need to be packaged with Mantha or AA to have value in such a trade.
-
You have reason to be concerned, he dropped because he's an incomplete player, who padded his offensive stats in the Q. I was terrified he'd drop to us in the draft and we'd walk right into the trap... and we did.
-
Ummm yea, they are... the NHL. lol
-
So you peg him as a Larkin type...
-
That's about as sad as the Tavares in bed with leafs kit on picture we see just about every Saturday night on HNIC.
-
Dboss who came up with that... its possibly the worst hockey nickname I've seen...
-
Zadina is looking rather ordinary against Canada... not on the ice to kill penalties, been invisible otherwise. BUST.
-
Erik Karlsson isn't the player he was before his knee surgery. I would not invest in him at anywhere close to the $ or term he'd want.
-
Guys having seen Zadina in his CHL days, I'm not sold on the guy at all. I think he dropped in the draft for real reasons. He may find the defensive side of the puck and if not he'll be a 1 dimensional NHL player or be back in Europe. Comparable: Daniel Sprong
